We are long time fans of BVR, especially staple dishes like the big burger and the short rib. We just had the new tuna poke bowls and they were super lack luster. Really plain. Quinoa is a terrible choice as the base. Missing many key ingredients like seaweed salad, edamame, and a high quality soy drizzle. Had better from Sobey’s.

A nice early New Years Eve Experience, enjoyed/shared the Chopped Salad, a blend of tasty items, followed by the Stuff chicken full of spinach & cheese, nicely done, the linguine could of had more flavour, touch of mushroom/peppers maybe, & a offering of grated cheese, which we had to ask for, certainly big portion, good choice. Maybe the restaurant should offer a crusty bread slice with this dish or just on table for enjoyment.
We each had 9 ounce glass of Vidal white wine, a good pour from the bar, much enjoyed.
Service was good, not great, couple errors made by server, no big deal, but just didn’t get the vibe for a “impressive service”

I don’t know where to begin. I never write reviews and just want to give a shout out to this place and the amazing staff!!! My girlfriend and I came here, September 30th around noon and had one of the best lunches we’ve had in a long time. We dine out a couple times a week and this is going to be a repeat spot for sure. Monika the server had all the right recommendations and I’m so thankful for her!! We started with two Caesars to drink (we drink Caesar’s everywhere we go and this was delicious-we didn’t have the pepperoncini infused vodka just regular) and it was delicious-many great garnishes, and the mussels (best mussels I’ve had in a long time)-ate them all up! With delicious garlic bread that comes with it. Then we got the classic burger with cheese bacon and mushrooms as add ons and the duck fat fries-ate every bit!! So good!!! We also had the rocket popsicle and espresso martini. Martini was delicious and the rocket popsicle was so good! I don’t like sweet drinks, I like more sour and this was exactly what I wanted! We sat on the patio on this beautiful day. Washrooms we’re clean and smelled nice :). Everything was perfect!!! Can’t wait to come back!! Worth the long drive for sure. Thank you so much BVR and specifically Monika 😊 we’ll be back!!

Excellent food. Hard to decide what to have. Went for lunch had some great cocktails. Best onions rings I’ve ever had. Fish and chips were great as was the beef. Parking right next door which is how we found it. Will be back!
